In Love With the Blade

I knew a girl who lost all she had Leaving her lonely, lost, and terribly sad Having no one to talk to and no one to call She fell in love with the blade releasing it all She found peace in the pain that came with each cut Behind her bedroom door, always securly locked and shut The sight of the blood left her satisfied time after time But she found that just one wasn't enough to clear her mind She cut more and more each time hiding the scars For fear of a padded room, surrounded by bars So finally she thought why not end it all Sitting in her room she planned her last letters and calls She wrote of her sorrows and how she couldn't let go And how sorry tonight she was giving her soul Then she ran the bath water and locked all the doors Knowing that she wouldn't see tommorrow or feel the pain anymore Then she climbed into the tub and grabbed that faithful blade That she'd grown to love and find refuge in each day As she cut down the middle of each wrist on each arm Not thinking that this would cause anyone else any hurt or alarm As she began to bleed she became weary and weak Fearing that maybe this shouldn't have been her release But it was to late to turn back the damage was done For her love with the blade had left ehr to far gone As she began to slip she began to weep Wishing to finally sleep into an eternal sleep As she finally slipped away the blade fell to her side Leaving a cold reality that the love of her blade left ehr to die So now as I sit I think back to her And her beautiful life now jsut a blur That blade that she'd loved had pushed her so hard That her ivory arms weren't all that were scarred
